Rust Guard

RUST GUARD is a thixotropic blend of wax, rust preventative sulphonate, resin and solvent. Our translucent gel formula is designed for maximum, long term protection against rust.

Features:

• Amber colored translucent gel
• Solvent order
• Easily fogged into hard to reach areas

Benefits:

• Penetrates into tiny cavities
• Long lasting rust inhibiting qualities will not crack or peel
• Produces a resilient, non-tacky film
• Resists dripping

Use for:

• Rustproofing underbody and inner panel surfaces
• Protecting against rust and corrosion
• Protects unpainted surfaces and recessed cavities where rust can occur undetected

How to use:

• Consult SDS for complete safety information before using.  Don’t spray catalytic converters, transmission heat shields, drive shafts, exhaust manifolds, brake drums, oil pans or disc brakes with Rust Guard. When spraying inner panels of a vehicle, be sure that doors are open and windows closed.

1. SURFACE PREPARATION: All areas to be coated should be clean and dry. Remove all dirt, moisture and debris. Care should be taken to protect areas which are not intended to be coated
2. APPLICATION: Although solvent separation is normally minor, some separation may occur during shipment and storage. Shake or stir container until material appears uniform.  Application may be made through the use of a pressurized canister system and attachable wands. For best results, the material temperature should be between 50-90º F. and the air pressure between 75-85 psi. This will ensure adequate atomization of the material through 90º & 360º wands. Access to hard-to-reach areas can normally be found through drain holes and plugs throughout the vehicle.
3. COVERAGE: Coverage rates may vary based on porosity of surface, material temperature and application technique. A wet film build of 6-8 mils will normally provide excellent protection. Typically, 1 car will require 1-2 quarts of material to achieve adequate film build but will vary based on the size of the vehicle.
4. DRY TIME: Dry times will vary based on temperature, humidity and application rate. Typical dry time @ 70º F and 50% relative humidity is 2 hours to the touch and 24 hours to complete cure. This product is intended for use in areas which may not have adequate ventilation to achieve complete curing. The resultant film does not require full curing to be effective. The dried film will be firm and non-tacky but remain elastic to resist cracking and peeling.
5. CLEAN-UP: Mineral Spirits may be used to clean equipment and tools. Care should be taken when handling any solvent or hazardous chemical. Waterless hand cleaner should be used on skin and flushed with soap and water.

Tech Tip: RUST GUARD exceeds MIL Spec MIL-C-0083933 (A) MR (AM3) and passes all 1500 hour 5% salt spray protection tests. Use this product also for industrial and heavy truck applications.
